Windows 10: Batch script does not work propperly

Hello everybody,

I've recently created a script which adds compatibility mode via CMD but I have problems getting it to work:

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /v "%CD%\mha2.exe" /t REG_SZ /d "WINXPSP3 256COLOR 640X480" /f

mkdir Success (for testing only)

exit

When I execute the script by double clicking on it the directory success gets created but the compatibility mode is not set. It does not matter if I run the script with admin privileges or without. However, when I manually start the script via the command line (Only with admin privileges; I'm using start C:\Path\To\script.bat to start the script) the scripts does everything it should.

Can someone help me why this is the case and tell me how to fix this?

Run the audio troubleshooter from a batch script

I have an automated home theatre setup - a batch script that enables my TV as a display, and changes the TV to be my primary display (so games and apps open on my TV instead of my monitor).

The same script also changes my default audio device to be the TV.

The problem is every time I turn off my TV, it disappears from the list of audio output devices in Windows 10, and even when I turn it back on, it does not appear in the list. However, if I RIGHT CLICK on the audio icon and select "troubleshoot sound problems"
and immediately cancel/close the troubleshooter, the TV is automagically added to my list of output devices.

My question is - is there any way to have this troubleshooter be launched from a batch script and instantly closed? Alternatively, is there a way to force a refresh of the audio devices through a batch script?

Running PowerShell script as a batch file

Hello Baldo,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to execute the PowerShell commands as a batch file.



I tried executing the batch file on my machine but I was unable to execute it as the command was incomplete. However, after making some changes in the command I was able to execute the batch file.



You can try the following command by saving it in a batch file and check if that helps.



powershell –Command Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.3dBuilder | Remove-AppxPackage



Also, as the query is related to running a PowerShell script using a batch file, I suggest you to post the issue on

TechNet forums where we have professionals who have more knowledge about the issue.



Hope it helps.
